[Elecraft] Should I worry about the toroids in the KXAT3 with vibration when carrying?

Richard,
My KXAT3 goes down many unpaved gravel roads in the mountains of North 
Georgia and has for many years - since June 2012.
At times we joke that the roads are actually potholes inter-connected by 
short stretches of gravel pavement.
The KX3 lives in the cab of a Ranger pick-up mounted on a seat bolt mounted 
post.
Occasionally I have had to retighten the mount bolts but have not needed to 
repair anything in the radio.
